See! Steve Bannon's not that bad (Ftucker Carlson)



Fox News uses ridiculous graphic to prove Steve Bannon is better than ISIS leader al-Baghdadi

http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/fox-news-uses-ridiculous-graphic-to-prove-steve-bannon-is-better-than-isis-leader-al-baghdadi/

Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday took issue with a USA Today op-ed comparing the worldviews of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Steve Bannon, providing a visual representation of the many, many ways in which the White House chief adviser is not, in fact, the leader of ISIS.

In an op-ed published Sunday, the USA Today editorial board argued Bannon and Baghdadi “both harbor apocalyptic visions of a clash of civilizations between Islam and the West,” and spin narratives for their followers of “sprawling conflict between believers of Prophet Mohammed and followers of Jesus Christ.”

The pair later clashed as Mastio tried to argue Bannon “shares a dangerous idea that plays right into the idea of al-Baghdadi.” While Carlson was unable to convince his guest that his paper was wrong for writing the article, the Fox News host did manage to provide unassailable proof that Bannon is definitely not Baghdadi.

You could replace Bannon with Bernie Madoff and get the same result. Would that prove that Madoff is a good guy?

I had no idea they were that different.

I'll obviously have to upgrade my opinion of Baghdadi. It's only fair.
